From Shauna Estes-Taylor
“We fell short of our end goal but I’m really proud of this group and their fight, passion and love to put on this uniform and compete. I can’t say enough about Regina (Plasencia) and this being her final event as a Razorback. She has encompassed everything I look for in a student-athlete. She loves the game, listens, works hard, does well in school and is grateful for the opportunity given to her. She’s really impacted our program in a positive way. We have a lot of great young talent on this team. Alana (Uriell) got a top-20 finish and birdied her final two holes. Maria (Fassi) and Cara (Gorlei) are the young blood for our team. And Summar (Roachell) … she’ll be the old lady of the team as the only senior next year. I’m disappointed that we fell short of our goal but it’s always great to have an opportunity to play for a national championship.”
